HVAC Ducts
HVAC equipment has a component where cool air circulates through a system of supply and return ducts. Supply ducts and ventilation screens move the cold air from the evaporating unit to the environment
Duct MaintenanceWhen you are careful with the maintenance of HVAC ducts, you avoid health problems in the home or places when people work in enclosed areas. In general, the user can remove the filter and access to this area for cleaning
Detect ContaminationTo detect contamination in your HVAC ducts, you must know that in the regular maintenance check, you may find all kinds of dirt. From layers of dust, pet hair, mites to mold spores..
If you presume the presence of mold in the ducts, it must be
determined whether this dirt is, in effect, mold. In this case,
it is necessary to make contact with an expert or specialist,
as microbiology laboratories should determine it. Mold
proliferates, and their spores are spread through the air
each time you turn on the heating or air conditioning.
If you allow that these harmful agents accumulate in the air
ducts, each time the system is turned on, the same detritus
will be spread directly to all members of the household. The
WHO, in 1982, defines the Sick Building Syndrome as a set
of diseases caused or stimulated by air pollution in enclosed
spaces, that it produces, in at least a 20 percent of their
occupants
Sick Building Syndrome
To clean the air ducts, you must know that many
sections of your HVAC may not be visible in an
inspection. It is essential to have all the information
about the ducts, in case of vast spaces and more
complex structures. Keep duct maps, determine
where they are located; see the size of the duct lines
and the number of ventilation screens.
.
Cleaning Ducts
A proper cleaning should be done from the
components closest to the unit and go the farthest
part of it. In long distances, it is recommended to
open ventilation covers in order to gain access to the
air ducts. These covers must be hermetically closed
The ventilation screens must be removed for
washing and. Then, the must be re-fit..
